Louis C.K. Directs First New Movie in 16 Years

Louis C.K. has announced his first feature film in 16 years, as Entertainment Weekly points out. It’s titled I Love You, Daddy, and it’s set to premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival. C.K. shot the movie on 35mm film and made it “entirely in secret.” I Love You, Daddy stars C.K. along with Chloë Grace Moretz, John Malkovich, Helen Hunt, Rose Byrne, and Pamela Adlon. The film is set in New York and features C.K. as “a successful television producer and writer,” with Moretz playing his daughter, according to the Los Angeles Times. TIFF kicks off September 7.

Louis C.K.’s last feature movie, Pootie Tang, came out in 2001. Since then, he’s directed numerous comedy specials (like his Netflix special 2017) and TV shows, notably “Louie” and “Horace and Pete.”

Update 11/10: The film has been canceled, following allegations of C.K.’s sexual misconduct.
